To guide aspiring persons and weed out business obstacles
The Thoothukudi District Tiny and Small Industries Association (THUDITSIA), District Industries Centre and the Entrepreneurship Development Cell have established ‘Entrepreneurs Clinic’ at THUDITSIA’s office in Muththammal Colony here to encourage and guide the aspiring entrepreneurs to start their own business modules in the town. The clinic will sort out the problems being encountered by the entrepreneurs. Addressing a meeting after inaugurating the clinic, Collector K. Senthil Raj said the objective was to encourage and guide entrepreneurs willing to start their own business ventures in the town having several advantages like Chennai with excellent road, rail, air and port connectivity. The abundant availability of quality power generated from wind, solar and coal was another advantage. With the ongoing expansion works and night landing facilities, the Thoothukudi Airport is all set to receive wide-bodied aircraft and handle more flights everyday. While sufficient quantity of water from the Tamirabharani could be drawn for industrial purposes, water recycling system to be created in SIPCOT Industrial Complex would be an added advantage.More Related News
